n. 1 "CLIL refers to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign language with dual-focused aims, namely the learning of content, and the simultaneous learning of a foreign language". (Marsh, D. 2002. Content and Language Integrated Learning: The European Dimension - Actions, Trends and Foresight Potential).

Three NEW models 1. Content and Language Integrated Learning 2. English as Lingua Franca (ELF) 3. English for Young Learners (EYL) ... CLIL has emerged as a significant curriculum trend in Europe. Similar approaches are now used, under different names, in many other countries.

Education - Learning English

Which model? EFL tradition / ESL GLOBAL ENGLISH

European Commission 2012 n. 3

CLIL involves teaching a curricular subject through the medium of a language other than that normally used. The subject can be entirely unrelated to language learning, such as history lessons being taught in English in a school in Spain. CLIL is taking place and has been found to be effective in all sectors of education from primary through to adult and higher education. Its success has been growing over the past 10 years and continues to do so.

Teachers working with CLIL are specialists in their own discipline rather than traditional language teachers. They are usually fluent speakers of the target language, bilingual or native speakers. In many institutions language teachers work in partnership with other departments to offer CLIL in various subjects.

The key issue is that the learner is gaining new knowledge about the 'non-language' subject while encountering, using and learning the foreign language. The methodologies and approaches used are often linked to the subject area with the content leading the activities. Gisella Langé 2016

Question n. 2

Are you a language teacher or a subject teacher?

•

The beginning of CLIL in Italy... In the mid 1990s foreign language teachers began developing CLIL thanks to European Projects... First experiences: organizing materials and tandem teaching with teachers of other subjects...


• Improving foreign language learning by starting at an early age English as 1st foreign language at primary school

• Improving foreign language learning by focusing on meaningful contents • Promotion and expansion of CLIL/bilingual courses

• Improvement of intercultural competences in international cooperation (e.g school exchange, educational stays, international projects, internships) • International language certificates, language competitions and other foreign language projects

Foreign language learning in Italy:



Setting standards for foreign languages... Primary (students aged 6 -11): Level A1 Lower Secondary (students aged 11-14): Level A2 Upper Secondary Students aged 14 - 16: Level B1 Students aged 16 – 19: Level B2

Strategic objectives

z Developing a competence based approach

z Fostering innovative methodologies (CLIL, NT…) z Training trainers and teachers (definition of Profiles for teachers of ALL languages, common training for teachers of different languages…)

z Strengthening Certifications (indicators, benchmarks,…)

z Activating Plurilinguism…

In the context of the European Qualifications Framework, competence is described in terms of responsibility and autonomy.

CLIL Teacher Profile

Gisella Langé 2016

‘The supply of (CLIL) teachers, the

quality of their teaching and of teacher

education are crucial in meeting the

demands and challenges of a rapidly

changing society’.

(Coyle, Luxembourg Presidency CLIL Conference, 2005)

56

Gisella Langé 2016

In Italy teachers of other subjects • know what the CEFR is

• show great interest in the way levels and competences are defined in it

• are willing to improve or learn a Foreign Language

• are trying to describe and grade competences for their subjects…

CLIL/EMILE training activities favour awareness and cooperative work on language learning…

NEW School Education Reform (Law n. 107 / 2015) • real development of school autonomy (flexibity in school organization, curriculum, innovation, …)

• new responsibilities for headteachers • reorganization of teacher recruitment procedures

• teacher professional development (teacher card 500 euro …) and teacher evaluation (involving parents and students…)

• real implementation of school assessment and evaluation system


FOCUS on innovative teaching : a) Languages and CLIL methodology

b) New technologies (National digital plan, use

of different media, ecc,)

c) Development of new ideas in methodology

c) Reorganisation of timetable and space.

Gisella Langé 2014

CLIL FOR ALL! Also in Primary, Lower and

Vocational Schools


… widening access and scope

Gisella Langé 2016

… broadening of CLIL practice

Gisella Langé 2016

2015-16 National funding for CLIL projects in primary, lower and upper secondary schools 1,5 million euros 150 network projects involving 1.000 schools

CLIL as quality change agent

Gisella Langé 2016

CLIL/EMILE is a change agent in education since it enables integration in the curriculum and benefits cross-section and cross-curricular dialogue, thus offering an example of innovative teaching

Gisella Langé 2016

CLIL methodology requires interactions between the FL and the Subject teachers. That's why in Italy we are suggesting schools to build CLIL TEAMS...

If an education system has a few elite schools and higher education institutions but does not provide adequate opportunities for all its students, it cannot be considered a high quality system.
